Watford had not won away since October 5 and speaking to the media after the game, in English, Sannino said: “It is very good because it has been a long time since Watford won away – too many lost and too many drawn.

“Today I am very happy for our fans and my players.”

Sannino admitted he did appreciate the four goals his team scored heading into the final ten minutes, considering their record of conceding late in games this season.

“We scored four times,” was Sannino’s initial response when asked what was different today compared to other away fixtures.

He continued: “My team always had confidence but today they were confident when passing and moving. We passed it better than before.

“I am pleased that we scored four goals because our problem has been the last minutes of games because we always concede [late] goals.

“The last ten minutes of matches have cost us a lot in terms of points.”

Despite the scoreline, Watford struggled to defend crosses into their box for most of the match and a more potent strike force may have punished the Hornets.

Sannino said: “There is always something to improve. One win does not give you the mark, you always have to improve.”

“Sometimes a good loss gives you more teaching than one win,” Sannino added later in the press conference, when asked if ending their winless run would help the players psychologically.

“If you have a team of good, professional guys then you do not need these things [a psychological boost from ending the winless run].

“If you want to be a great team then you have to be able to go through not only great wins but also negative results.”

Sannino confirmed Almen Abdi appears to have come through his 20 minutes unscathed in the midfielder’s first outing since late January due to his ongoing foot condition.

For the vast majority of the time they won't carry the same prejudice towards individuals as supporters/fans do.

Put even more simply, adults talking to other adults in an adult manner at a place & time where all parties happened to be.

There doesn't have to be a hidden or secret meaning.

I have always liked Warnock and in the past I would have welcomed his appointment as Watford manager but not now.
He is ten years too old unfortunately and I wouldn't want to offer him a pre retirement job.
One of his main assets was his motivational ability but he would struggle with the number of foreign players we have plus he would probably strangle Nani within a week----on second thoughts ???

I think Beppe is doing fine and should be allowed to continue next season, but if he is to leave I would not be opposed to Warnock coming in as his replacement!
Warnocks record for getting teams promoted is excellent so he seems a good choice. However, when he achieves promotion I would be looking for someone new again, as his record in the Premiership is as bad as his record for getting promotion is good!
Horses for courses, as they say!

There are plenty of decent managers around without us having to resort to Neil Warnock - the game has moved on. Promotion is not the panacea -stability, a strong academy, fast, free flowing entertaining football and a game winning mentality will do for now. We are not too far away from achieving all of these.

Good to see Almen back on the pitch think we have missed his input, Lewis is growing as a important regular starter and that man Deeney does what he likes, on a theory side we should perhaps think what if s and maybes if Deeney moves on as I think he could do a job in the Premiership, now that's more worth a worrying look at than who's talking to who as we always assume we need to add someone with Deeney and not about replacement if such happend, he is standing out as Championship striker of the season!

Pudil was having a great game, and has improved tremendously the second half of the season.

Shame it was he who had to make way for Riera, because we lost it after that down the left flank.

Same with the McGugan substitution, very strange.....but often Beppe's changes seem to lack logic.

We could have gone on to win by six or seven but after bringing on Riera, Faraoni, and Abdi we lost our cutting edge.

Still, who is complaining at a 4-1 away win.

The subs seem to make sense to me. Putting Abdi and Riera on when 4-1 up seems reasonable to me. Easing Abdi back in when not hanging on for dear life as we have in some games seems logical. Also checking the fitness of Riera in the same situation too seems sensible. As for faroni, may be Sannino thought we needed the extra physical and defensive presence as against Anya's slight frame.

McGugan probably not yet back to full fitness and Pudil (like Angella, Ekstrand and Tozser) seems to be picking up yellows every game. Pudil is playing as well as he has in his 2 seasons here, but with his penchant for last ditch tackles there is always the danger of mistiming a challenge and then he would be off. That would be pointless in a game that is already won.

If we do get ourselves in a position for a late charge to the play-offs, the suspensions of Pudil, Angella and Tozser could be crucial, so getting the recent arrivals and newly fit players back up to speed could be important.

As an aside, anyone know the current fitness status of Fitz Hall?

Also checking the fitness of Riera in the same situation too seems sensible. As for faroni, may be Sannino thought we needed the extra physical and defensive presence as against Anya's slight frame.

McGugan probably not yet back to full fitness and Pudil (like Angella, Ekstrand and Tozser) seems to be picking up yellows every game. Pudil is playing as well as he has in his 2 seasons here, but with his penchant for last ditch tackles there is always the danger of mistiming a challenge and then he would be off. That would be pointless in a game that is already won.

If we do get ourselves in a position for a late charge to the play-offs, the suspensions of Pudil, Angella and Tozser could be crucial, so getting the recent arrivals and newly fit players back up to speed could be important.

As an aside, anyone know the current fitness status of Fitz Hall?

WO reported last week that he had started training again but suffered another set-back when tying his bootlaces.

Does HC stand for Happy Cigarettes. He is clearly smoking something mind altering. Colin W was actually at QPR yesterday.

Anyone know how Riera looked in the last half hour?

Same as he did for the first hour though slightly redder!!

Pudil was having a great game, and has improved tremendously the second half of the season.

Shame it was he who had to make way for Riera, because we lost it after that down the left flank.

Same with the McGugan substitution, very strange.....but often Beppe's changes seem to lack logic.

We could have gone on to win by six or seven but after bringing on Riera, Faraoni, and Abdi we lost our cutting edge.

Still, who is complaining at a 4-1 away win.

The subs seem to make sense to me. Putting Abdi and Riera on when 4-1 up seems reasonable to me. Easing Abdi back in when not hanging on for dear life as we have in some games seems logical.
